Puzzled by loss of WiFi speed

[dlandiss]

I am using Speed test by Ookla. I was trying out various Test servers in Ookla. Tried a few times with Giganet Portsmouth (who I am with) and I get 160/70.

Wiz, I haven't seen yet which Wi-Fi band you are connecting to. Put different SSIDs on 2.4GHz and 5GHz so you can ensure that you are using 5GHz. The speed you are reporting sounds about like 2.4.

I wish I could reach 160Mbps throughput on 2.4GHz band in my area with 802.11n connection.

I am on 5Ghz band. As you can see I am hitting 450+ on some test sites.

This was on 5Ghz in my case.

I know. It's obvious.
